Crystallex’s Las Cristinas Contract in Doubt

Mr. Bane,

I believe you still have not replied to my last request for evidence supporting your accusation against the KRY management that "...They hide cards up their sleeves, bottom deal and so forth...."

I almost couldn't stop myself laughing after reading your latest article on KRY and especially the responses from other readers. I wish to add one more comment that the way Mr. Raul Gallegos and you view and interpret the world is so very similar to our Attorney General Gonzalez on the issue of Habeas Corpus. I have to say very entertaining but with no substance. I copy a few paragraphs from SF Gate.com and paste below because I feel they are relevant to the way you and Mr. Gallegos operate:

"The Constitution doesn't say every individual in the United States or every citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas,'' Gonzales told Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Jan. 17.

Gonzales acknowledged that the Constitution declares "habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless ... in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.'' But he insisted that "there is no express grant of habeas in the Constitution.''

Specter was incredulous, asking how the Constitution could bar the suspension of a right that didn't exist -- a right, he noted, that was first recognized in medieval England as a shield against the king's power to dispatch troublesome subjects to royal dungeons.

Later in the hearing, Gonzales described habeas corpus as "one of our most cherished rights'' and noted that Congress had protected that right in the 1789 law that established the federal court system. But he never budged from his position on the absence of constitutional protection -- a position that seemingly would leave Congress free to reduce habeas corpus rights or repeal them altogether.

I rest my case.
